An 864 Square Inch Oil Painting
The background trees are finished. Hmmm, about 1/3 of 864 square inches = 285. That leaves 589 square inches to paint. Approximately. Careful inches. (Fishing Guy appears to be in need a superhuman orthopedic surgeon.) This photo represents 5 days of painting. 10 more days on this??? Needs drying time. Needs to be varnished and more drying time. Needs to be delivered May 2. Guess I’ll just try not to get distracted by any more yarn paintings or other odd items and see what happens! You all will have to visit the show in Tulare, opening May 5, to see if this Giant Oil Painting made it!!
Fun to glance back through your posts and see this painting taking shape. Looking good! Good luck meeting your deadline!
Thank you, Cheryl! It will take a combination of perseverance, sunny days, and determination. Yesterday parts of the river and some of the rocks got cleaned up nicely; I vacillate between YES I CAN and WHO ARE YOU FOOLING??
